The Delhi government intends to relax the weekend curfew and has sought permission from the LG.

Traders in several regions of the city have urged that the city’s limits be lifted, especially those placed on establishments selling non-essential commodities on odd-even days.

Bombay Tribune (New Delhi) An official source stated on Friday that the Delhi government has recommended easing the weekend curfew, ending the odd-even system for shop openings, and allowing private offices to operate with half-staff throughout the city. According to them, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s proposal has been sent to Lt Governor Anil Baijal for approval,  the decision to relax the limits was made due to a decrease in the number of COVID cases in the city.

The weekend curfew will begin at 10 p.m. on Friday and last until 5 a.m. on Monday. It will be abolished if the LG grants the Delhi government’s proposal approval. Due to an increase in COVID instances in the city, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) decided to implement a weekend curfew on January 1. From Friday night onwards, a weekend curfew is imposed, restricting non-essential activity. On weekdays, a night curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. is already in effect.

Other limits enforced by the DDMA included the closing of all private offices that provided non-essential services. In the last several days, the daily number of COVID cases and the positive rate have both decreased.

According to data published by the municipal health department on Thursday, Delhi had 12,306 new COVID-19 cases and 43 fatalities, with a positive rate of 21.48 percent.

On January 13, the city has documented 28,867 COVID cases with a 29.21 positive rate, the highest single-day increase since the epidemic began.
Last week, the figure dropped to 24,383, 20,718 on Saturday, 18,286 on Sunday, 12,527 on Monday, and 11,684 on Tuesday.
